Slate: Moving to Canada, Eh?

Posted November 7th, 2004 at 01:13pm

Slate attempts to ring in with the definite last word in about moving north (although I can’t say I agree with all of what’s said about my country): Moving to Canada, Eh? - Let Slate help you decide if it’s really for you. Amusing, if nothing else.

Meanwhile, the folks over that the Joy of Tech have a new cartoon. I sense a meme.

New Canadian flag?But please, here’s a word for any Americans thinking about living (or even visiting) Canada: leave your troubles at the doormat. We’re generally pretty mellow folks up here, and it has nothing to do with the decriminalised marijuana. Life is too short for political or religious idealogues that create warring factions. Let’s just all meet down at Tim’s for hot coffee and donuts, complain about the weather, and hit the trike/ skidoo / mountain bike/ 4×4 trails. Just don’t forget the dog, your favourite fishing rod and some Backwoods Off from the Canadian Tire. (Tongue is in cheek, but only just slightly.)
